Hi All

I am running Emacs 24.1 under FreeBSD 9.

While I tred to launch w3m by M-x w3m-browse-url, message I got hereunder :

Emacs-w3m of this version does not support Emacs 24; try the development version

I have tried to build emacs-w3m from ports, but also said does not
support Emacs 24.

Could anybody suggest?

with kind regards

I have always used the cvs version and have no problems with Emacs
24. You can find the instructions to checkout the repo here:

http://emacs-w3m.namazu.org/

Cheers,
Charles

Update your ports?

It works for me, with the latest editors/emacs and www/emacs-w3m ports.

Thank you, you are right the cvs version is OK.

Hi Lowell
Yes, editors/emacs is OK since that is version 23. You will see
emacs-devel can not work with www/emacs-w3m.

Any way, the svn version from w3m is OK.

Cos

Best regards

No. The latest editors/emacs is 24.1.1 and has been for a couple of
weeks. www/emacs-w3m was updated at the same time to build with emacs 24.

So you're fine for now.
